Also, as George noted, if a wire is touching anywhere, that could trigger a shutdown.....as could too low/high ohms.  Also, make sure all connections are tight and secure.  A sketchy connection will flake out under heavy load, but not at low volumes.  Another issue could be speakers that require too much power for the system running them.

I had an Onkyo that got too hot even with an external fan I put on it and cooked itself.  I went with the Yamaha RX-V681, with the same external fan, and have luckily had no issues with it.  It shut off one time, and that was a wire that came loose.


EDIT:.....and be sure you're using a big enough gauge of wire to carry the current.

well its the wire that came with the speakers.... So I should be okay there I think...  No idea on the ohms.


ill check all the little wires.   Then I gotta go get an adaptor to the tv.  (optical audio out to RCA converter...)

I'm sure I have some old PC fans sitting around I might be able to switch out
